I have now collected quite a few DVD and Video Films - my big problem is watching them. As soon as my husband is awake the TV goes on and before he goes to bed the TV goes off. We have DVD and Video players, but with only one TV which is in use most of the time, I have little chance of watching them.

Solution - buy another TV, but which one. I looked at quite a few which had DVD and Video facilities, but they seemed very expensive. I eventually found a 14" ORION. It looked good, was the right size to put in one of the bedrooms and was just under £200. Better still, before I put in my order there was a special offer on it, bringing it down to £189.90.

My order was telephoned in and within two days it arrived on my doorstep. Couldn't wait to see how it played. It fitted perfectly onto a small bedside drawer unit and looked really nice. I plugged it in and tested the DVD and Video facility first (after all that was the reason for buying it) - very good, no problems there.

Now for the TV - Oh no! I had no aerial, forgot we only had the one socket in the house (another senior moment!). Coat on and off to my local warehouse store. They suggested a Silver Sensor High Performance Indoor TV Aerial (super sensitive to all UHF TV channels). It was only £12. They told me that with this one I would not need a booster and they were right, it worked perfectly.

It was the first time that I had preset channels, so I expected complicated instructions, but no it was easy. Each channel tuned in via the remote, using the menu and the directional buttons until the correct channel appeared. Although I didn't use it there was also a "quick set-up guide" which looks really simple to follow.

I have now watched several of my films and recordings and would highly recommend the Orion CW1403 Combination 14" TV and Video Recorder/DVD Video Player with Teletext.
